Attached is a framework plugin to play AC3 stream. The plugin is
required in order to create a new File Type AC3 (identified by mime-type
audio/ac3) and associated a transcoding rule using ffmpeg.
Your linux system needs to have ffmpeg. Mplayer uses all ffmpeg
libraries but the ffmpeg command line is better behaved for LMS
transcoding than mplayer. If your distro does not have ffmpeg but
avconv - Make a link from avconv to ffmepg or edit the plugin file
custom-convert.conf from ffmpeg to avconv.
Test that your version of ffmpeg can handle ac3 by the following command
with a test Ac3 file called testfile.ac3
Code:
--------------------
ffmpeg -i testfile.ac3 -f flac testfile.flc
--------------------
The converted testfile.flc should be a multichannel flac file and can be
played by mplayer or vlc.
To install the plugin. Download the attached zip file. Unzip - it
should create a directory called "PlayAC3 with a few files. Copy the
directory to your LMS installation into the "Plugins" directory that is
at the same level as "Slim" (this is the manual insytall foir user
plugins) do NOT install in the "Plugin" directory under "Slim" - this
for Logitech plugins. Restart LMS and check for single entry AC3 file
type in WebUI Setting/Advanced/FileTypes
